1636: C1636 The Burden

C1636 The Burden

With a flick of his finger, two pills flew out and floated towards Zhou Yan. With a "pata" sound, they landed at Zhou Yan's feet.

"What pill?" Zhou Yan bent down and picked them up.

"Spirit Gathering Pill, a Rank 2 Advanced Pill," Zhou Heng lowered his eyes and said calmly.

"Rank 2 Advanced Pill?" Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat as he raised his head and looked at Zhou Heng. "Is this pill for me?"

As the name implies, the Spirit Gathering Pill could help a Martial Disciple increase their cultivation. Furthermore, the effects of the pill would be doubled if consumed.

Even in the Myriad Realms, Spirit Gathering Pills were quite rare and extremely expensive.

After all, the cultivation of a martial artist consumed a lot of energy, especially after reaching the Ninth Level of the Innate Realm. Every time one advanced a realm, the amount of spiritual energy, energy, and pills consumed was uncountable. Ordinary martial artists simply could not afford it.

And the Spirit Gathering Pills just happened to make up for the shortage of pills!

Such a precious pill was considered a top treasure in the Myriad Realms.

However, in the Zhou Dynasty, it was just an ordinary item.

"This is my apology. I hope you can accept it." Zhou Heng smiled and explained, "These two pills should be of help to you."

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Zhou Yan did not refuse. He bowed and put away the pills.

This was the Great Elder's apology.

If he were to reject such a precious pill, wouldn't it hurt Zhou Heng's face?

"Go." Zhou Heng waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yan to leave.

"Yes," Zhou Yan replied respectfully before leaving the courtyard.

After he left, the expression on Zhou Heng's face instantly collapsed.

"Sigh..."

He shook his head and sighed as he murmured to himself, "This brat is pretty stubborn, but he has guts."

"But he will fall sooner or later."

"I'm looking forward to it."

A weird smile appeared on Zhou Heng's face.

...

"This Spiritual Gathering Pill isn't bad."

As soon as he returned to the inn, Zhou Yan could not wait to swallow the pill. He then started to circulate the 'Essence Devouring Art' and absorb the medicinal strength to strengthen his physical strength and bloodline.

In the span of a single night, Zhou Yan's cultivation had successfully advanced to the seventh level of the Martial Apprentice realm.

At the same time, he had also comprehended the profound meaning of wind.

"* Rumble! *"

"* Crack! *"

At the same time, a series of thunderclaps sounded in his mind.

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up: "I broke through!"

His cultivation had risen from the sixth level to the seventh level.

"Hahaha, great!" Zhou Yan's face was filled with joy.

He could clearly feel that his body was filled with boundless energy, as if a single punch could shatter the sky and tear apart the earth.

"* Huff! *"

Standing up, Zhou Yan clenched his fists and punched out with all his might.

"* Bang! *"

With a loud explosion, a hole was blasted through the wall in front of him.

This scene shocked the waiter who was eating beside him.

"What the f * ck!"

"What the f * ck... Isn't it too exaggerated?"

The waiter rubbed his eyes and was confused. "What... did I just see?"

He even suspected that he was seeing things!

Such a huge slab must weigh at least two or three hundred pounds!

Yet it was broken so easily by this young man?

One had to know that when their inn was built, it was built with bluestone slabs, and it was extremely stable! Even a hammer strike would find it hard to create a hole.

But now, this limestone brick that weighed four to five hundred pounds was easily broken through by this youth in front of him?

What kind of freak was this youth?

"Cough, cough..."

At this moment, the young man coughed lightly and waved to the waiter. He smiled and said, "Come, come, come. Waiter, clean up the dishes."

"Oh."

The waiter came back to himself and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He carried the plate into the room and put it on the counter.

"Waiter, this is for you." Zhou Yan threw out a silver ingot, "The rest of the money will be used as tea money."

The waiter immediately revealed a look of joy.

"Thank you, Young Hero." The waiter caught the silver and was filled with joy. "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded with a smile. Then, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate quietly.

"Hu!"

Inhaling the spiritual energy and tempering his body.

After a while, Zhou Yan opened his eyes and revealed a brilliant smile: "As expected of a Spirit Gathering Pill, its effect is much more powerful than an ordinary Qi Gathering Pill! In just a single night, my physical body went from the peak of the Second Level Martial Apprentice to the Level Four Martial Apprentice!"

The reason why Martial Masters were difficult to surpass was because their physical bodies were too strong. With every increase in realm, the difficulty would increase by several times. It was not just a matter of talent.2

Zhou Yan estimated that he would need at least half a year to break through to the eighth level of the Martial Disciple Realm!

"However, this level of breakthrough is still not enough!" Zhou Yan's eyes lit up: "If I want to obtain points, I'm afraid I'll have to kill someone."

"During this period of time, I have already killed nearly a hundred people and obtained a total of 200 points. I'm still about 20 points away from obtaining 1000 points. It won't be easy..."

Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

"Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well give it a try."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and decided to hunt down the Wild Demonic Beasts.

In any case, these savage Demonic Beasts were not a threat to him. Whether it was in terms of ferocity or strength, they completely surpassed the Demonic Beasts he had killed before.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as Zhou Yan walked out of the inn, a series of deafening roars sounded from the streets.

"This is..." Zhou Yan frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the voice.

At the end of his line of sight was an ancient city.

The city covered an extremely large area. On the city walls, mysterious runes were set up one after another, emitting waves of obscure fluctuations that caused one's heart to palpitate.

"This is where the City Lord's Mansion is located." Zhou Yan secretly clicked his tongue, "This ancient city is not the slightest bit inferior to the capital of Zhou Country. In fact, it is even more bustling and lively."

Zhou Yan originally thought that the capital of Zhou Country was already the most prosperous city, but after seeing the scale of this ancient city, Zhou Yan clearly realized...

"In the entire Northern Ocean Dynasty, and even within a radius of thousands of miles, there is only one truly powerful dynasty!"

The Royal City represented a powerful force.

"The Patriarch Sect in my memories was said to be a Duke of the Northern Dark Lord Dynasty."

"The Northern Dark Dynasty is the overlord of Eastern Descent County and rules over dozens of counties in Eastern Descent County..."

Zhou Yan's eyes revealed a look of yearning.

However, he knew that his current cultivation was too weak. Not to mention the Northern Ocean Dynasty, even the Nanyang County had far exceeded his ability.

His goal was to take the entire Zhou Family out of this predicament in the future and reach the peak!

...

There was a line at the entrance of the ancient city.

Zhou Yan raised his head and glanced at the line. He saw the words "Zhou Country Academy Registration Office" at the front of the line.
